SALINA — Mid-Continent Instruments recently donated numerous attitude indicators, altimeters, vertical speed indicators, directional gyros, and air speed indicators to Kansas State University Salina’s avionics program.

Ryan Reid, Mid-Continent Instruments employee and 2008 graduate of K-State’s professional pilot program, coordinated the donation with Raylene Alexander, K-State’s avionics program lead and assistant professor of aviation.

Reid serves as tour guide when Alexander’s classes tour Mid-Continent Instruments’ Wichita location each semester and they often see each other at trade shows.

“Mid-Continent Instruments is proud to support K-State and their exceptional training program,” Reid said. “We are happy to donate instruments that will allow students to further their education and become professionals within the aviation industry.”

“The support we received from Mid-Continent Instruments has been invaluable,” Alexander said. “We will use the instruments to troubleshoot and repair aircraft as part of our classroom curriculum.”
